The Serpent Reader is a guardian of discernment. With an unwavering gaze, two metallic horns at the base of her hooked beak, shaped for precision. This watcher studies the movements of hidden things: whispers, lies, fears, and poisons that slip quietly through the world. Her curling tongue, protruding from her beak, is a lure used to draw serpents close. In their exchange, she reads prophecy. Where others recoil from venom, the Serpent Reader leans nearer, translating danger into knowledge. Her task is not to destroy darkness but to understand it, revealing patterns of harm before they spread. In the presence of this guardian, deception loosens its grip, because every toxin carries a story, and the Serpent Reader knows how to listen.

The Serpent Reader
Each Guardian Monster is a one-of-a-kind, handmade object. Please understand there will be variations in form, color, and pattern.
You may order the original Guardian Monster as it is shown in the first thumbnail
You may choose another color variation from the available options for an approximate 30% upcharge (the samples shown are AI mockups intended to give Whistlepig Tales' clients a headstart on imagining what another color story might look like)
We can work together to get even more collaborative about the surface of the Guardian for 100% upcharge (just use the line drawing to show me how you want the color parsed out over the form and I will get back to you)
Any extra lustre surfacing will be an additional expense
Once you place your order Whistlepig Tales Studio will be in touch to talk about your choice. Please allow 4-6 weeks on all custom orders.
NOTE: There will only ever be 5 builds in each color variation for each Guardian Monster. Every single one will be made by hand and unique. After 5 builds in any given form/color combination the design will be discontinued.
If a Guardian is a one-of-a-kind that will not be reproduced, it will be clearly stated in the description
